The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This work provides the early tools to develop substrate reduction inhibitors for a genetic childhood seizure disorder, with the hypothesis to target the enzyme (AASS) upstream of the defective gene (ALDH7A1) in the human lysine metabolic pathway. This TEP package includes recombinant human AASS purification protocols, structures of the AASS second domain in different states, in vitro assays to detect ligand binding (differential scanning fluorimetry) and enzyme activity (NADH formation) of human AASS, as well as initial chemical matters.
